  SAP Error Message:
  WF_EXPR010 Number of decimal places (&3) greater than number of places (&2)
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow when an expression or calculation involves a number format where the number of decimal places specified is greater than the total number of digits (places) allowed for the number. Essentially, the system is trying to format or handle a number with more decimal places than the total length of the number, which is logically inconsistent.
  For example, if a number is defined with a total length of 3 digits but the expression tries to assign 4 decimal places, this error will be triggered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During workflow expression evaluation or calculation steps.
  When defining or manipulating numeric variables or constants in workflow expressions.
  When formatting numbers in workflow container elements or during data type conversions.
  Possibly during the use of function modules or methods that expect numeric inputs with specific length and decimal places.
